Running stitch top

Can't call it quilt . Lol , It's about 14" square so it's more quilt journal right?

Such a great way to emphasize the running stitches. Thanks for sharing this piece with us.

Very creative...I like that the running stitches are in different colors within the block...it makes it more interesting.

Its definitely a quilt. Quilts come in all shapes and sizes, from miniature to table runners to wall hangings to king size AND BEYOND! ...sorry, my inner Buzz Lightyear made an appearance there....

In any case, if it has three layers (batting, backing, top) and the three layers are stitched together (the process of quilting) then its a quilt. And yours is quite lovely!

What a fun little quilt! (I'd call it a doll quilt.) What type of thread did you use? Sure is cute!

Thank you

Thanks for the info. I have also heard them called Mini Quilts. I like to make them by making one block and setting it on point. I am going to borrow your idea and quilt one with a running stitch. Yours is so very cute!
